The Nokta SX24 9.5x6" DD coil is a waterproof search coil designed for the Simplex series that delivers deeper detection and faster ground coverage than the stock coil. Measures 9.5 x 6 inches—though often referenced in the field as a 9.5x5" or 24x15 cm footprint due to its sleek, semi-elliptical profile—this upgrade is exactly what Simplex LITE, BT, ULTRA, and FindX Pro owners reach for when they need to cover more ground per swing without sacrificing maneuverability. The specialized geometry maintains tight control around obstacles while the Double-D configuration cuts through mineralized soil that makes concentric coils struggle.

Why Simplex Owners Reach for the SX24 Coil
- Deeper detection range on coins and relics compared to the stock coil, pulling targets from below the standard sweep zone
- Larger sweep area covers significantly more ground per pass, cutting hunt time in open sites where efficiency matters
- Waterproof construction rated for shallow water and surf hunting, letting you chase targets into the wash without pulling the coil
- DD coil geometry reduces false signals in mineralized ground and wet sand, maintaining stable operation where concentric coils chatter
- Plug-and-play installation on all Simplex series detectors with no firmware updates or calibration steps
Deeper Targets in Open Ground and Beach Sand
Park and Field Hunting with Faster Coverage
The 9.5x6" footprint covers more ground per swing, improving efficiency in open areas. We've used this coil in open parks where target density is low and speed matters more than pinpoint precision. The depth advantage pulls targets from below the standard sweep zone. The semi-elliptical shape still fits between playground equipment and around tree roots, so you're not locked into wide-open spaces. When you're covering acres of grass looking for the one deep silver, the SX24 is the tool that gets you there.
Wet Sand Stability on Saltwater Beaches
The DD configuration reduces ground mineralization interference in wet sand and surf. Saltwater mineralization creates ground noise that concentric coils amplify; the Double-D pattern cancels most of it. We run this coil in knee-deep water chasing gold rings and chains that wash into the trough. The waterproof rating handles full submersion in shallow surf, and the protective cover takes the scraping that comes with dragging a coil through shell hash and rocks. The larger size means you're covering more sand per swing, critical when you're racing the tide on a productive cut.
Mineralized Soil in Relic Sites
Iron-rich ground in old homesteads and Civil War camps produces false signals that slow you down. The DD coil's ground-balancing advantage keeps the threshold stable over hot rocks and red clay. The depth gain matters when you're hunting large iron relics and buttons that sit deep. The 9.5x6" size is small enough to work between foundation stones and trash pockets, but large enough to detect a musket ball at depth. If you're running a Simplex in mineralized relic ground, this coil is the upgrade that lets you hunt longer without constant retuning.
